More than any other company, Archie Comics has done a pretty amazing job of keeping its back catalog in print for new readers. On top of the decades worth of digests that stocked grocery store shelves with a library of older stories, the past few years have seen a new wave of digital collections and massive tomes that hit the highlights of 75 years of Riverdale's favorite teens.

This week, The Best of Archie is getting a deluxe hardcover treatment, and what's really interesting about it is that it's going into some deep cuts of the wider Archie Universe.

For those of you who may not know him, Bingo Wilkin is Jughead's cousin who lives across town, and, as a friend of mine put it, "is Archie and Jughead in one man!" Hopefully Cricket O'Dell and Cousin Marcie make the next volume.

Here's the official information:
